“A HOBO BOOK READER”


There are times when you want different things to satisfy your needs, your basic needs are often given the first preference, but can you think of someone who would give preference to a habit and a passion, rather than the basic needs, or what we call the basic needs?

Now here comes the story of a man who re-defined the basic needs for himself, his definition was to satisfy the need for living, his quest for knowledge gave him the satisfaction that no materialistic thing would provide, for him that was his whole world, he used to say; World its self isn’t that real how a book is, as books are narrated and the world is a just a perspective. You perceive what is projected, and what is projected, are the ideas of different people having different motives behind. This man used to live a life on a train station, spending nights travelling illegally and eating out off trash cans. And find a place where he can peacefully read whatever he wanted, people used to look at him and questioned him if they get a chance that why isn’t he trying to make his life better than wondering here and there reading, and he would always just smile at them thinking, that this is what he is doing and they are unable to see. That was exactly what is didn’t wanted for himself, “things happening in front of his eyes and still he not being able to understand”. 

And finally he wanted the world to know what is behind that entire crazy act. He had a philosophy that wealth firm believes on certain things that needs to be explored on a broader horizon. And living like a hobo is helping him understand things in a way that are not influenced by other believes, though he was a millionaire he preferred living like a hobo instead. (Based on a true story)

Now we don’t find many people like that but there are people who are keen for knowledge and have a quest for fame, just like our college students and helping them would serve the purpose equivalent to the MR Hobo’s motive, which was “To understand the things in their real perspective”.
